A battle is brewing

[Newbie]

I'd try to reason with him in game, get the other players involved, and if he keeps doing it, get the rest of the party to also leave him with you

Thats what i was starting to think about and thats the plan. Well thanks alot guys and if anyone else wants to help me plot revenge (in the event this works out) I would like to hear your ideas.

Have your character poke his character in the eye.

Your character is a Ftr13/Barb11 ? Held in captivity on a negetative energy plane during the early years of his life ? Forced slave labor/torture ?

I say this sounds like the perfect time to roleplay a little classic , repressed Post Traumatic Stress Dissorder .

Next time his character starts in with the taunts , look at the DM , say " I Rage and attack ! " , then start givin' it to him with both barrels ! ( ... or both blades of your Greataxe or whatever ... )

If this is an in-game thing , this action should be sufficient to reveal any previously hidden subplots , and also get the other characters involved in figuring out what's going on .

If it's an out-of-game thing , and he's just trying to be a jerk for some reason , thrashing his character might help you find out the reason . At the very least , he might just stop being a jerk to you .

I agree , " poke him in the eye " , see if he blinks !

So he thinks he can take your 24th level character in a fight? Pretty impressive guy. Nah, let him harass you and start giving the DM messages. Tell the DM how you are starting to have flashbacks and you are having nightmares about your slavery. Repressed anger being brought out by the _betrayal_ of somebody you thought was your friend. In game, start allowing a random chance to lash out in blind rage. Finally, when your "firend" goes off on you one night, wait until you are on watch and he is asleep. In the middle of the night, on your watch, have him snap. Coup de Grace with your great axe, while raging and power attacking (if your DM will allow it). Immediately start screaming that the guards are down and everyone can escape. Slaughter the "friend" and break off into the woods, encouraging everyone else to run with you. Stop and attack a tree until it goes down. Yell that another guard is down and it is even easier to escape. Wash, rinse, repeat until you stop raging and come to your senses. You see, you are cracking under the pressure. You were willing to die to save him and now he treats you like this. It does things to people...

Just run it all by the DM ahead of time so he realizes you are playing it in-character. If he doesn't like the response, maybe the three of you should iron out the harassment his character is throwing your way.

Tracable vengeance can lead to bad blood between players. Does your character have enough money to hire a discreet assassin and have the monk's death blamed on a Dm's npc plot hook?

 

[Newbie]

Wow! i like the way you guys think.
And if he can take me is still in question, 24 monk vs. a 13 Fighter 11 Barb. With dire charge, epic damge reduction and a strength of 49 Str (in our game we alowed a inhernt bonus of ten)(we wont be doing that again) if he can servive the first round he might have a chance he has a possible AC of 64 or somthin crazy like that. (but then his strike would be little to non)

Sell your soul to the Lower Planes. Have they hire out infernal Assassins. Kill the other PC. Why bother wasting your time when you can just turn evil and have some one else do the job for you? And all for the cost your soul.

If it is all in character... then get revenge in ways other than a fight. Depends how chaotic you're feeling... Playing appaling in-game jokes on their character is one I've done before. For example:

Hire bards in any town you visit to sing songs about how amazing the rest of the party is... and how this guys character is the cowardly weirdo.

Get an alter self/polymorph device. Pretend to be him. Run all over town racking up huge bills and insulting people.

Hire (some really good!) thieves to break into his house and re-arrange all his furniture.

And so on.

Make him a laughing stock, paranoid and harried. Pretty soon he'll have more to worry about than insulting you? Just make sure he can't trace any of it back to you.

It certainly taught a spiteful and bitter fighter not to bully my rogue!

Just make sure you check that this sort of thing is OK with the GM before you do it!

You said it was a player, does the same player do that to you with every character he brings in, if so, then that is a problem. I like the "snapping" on watch idea, problem with that, in all of my games, there is always at least two people on watch.

Those are great. You didn't do that to Morrus, did you?
